Mr Terry, who lost 95% of his sight because of a degenerative disorder which affects the retina and impairs sharpness of vision in his eyes, said: “The owner told me that there was a sign on the door saying no dogs were allowed in his shop.

“I informed him that my dog was a guide dog as I am registered blind, but he insisted that we leave.

“I made it clear that he was discriminating against me, and explained that I am legally entitled to go anywhere that is open to the public with my dog.”

Mr North later defended his decision , claiming that he and his customers were “extremely offended” by dogs and added he never allows them in the shop because dogs “do dreadful things”.

North Wales Police have now confirmed to the Daily Post that they are working alongside Staffordshire Police to investigate “a hate-related incident” at the shop.

Mr Terry added: “I think this is the best route to go down.

“It can be very costly pursuing a discrimination case so I’m glad that the police are looking in to it.
